5k for Earth Day

This Earth Day weekend, Humboldt Park becomes a place of action, not just awareness.

The 5K for Earth Day is the culmination of an Earth Day focused weekend rooted in community, care, and forward motion. Across two days, participants are invited to engage with the planet in a tangible way.

Day one: plant a tree.
Day two: cross the finish line.

After a 13 year hiatus, this race returns not out of tradition, but out of a renewed sense of responsibility to bring people together around the environment, movement, and community.

Set within one of Chicago’s most historic green spaces, the race welcomes runners, joggers, walkers, families, and first timers alike. Humboldt Park’s tree lined paths and open landscape provide the perfect backdrop for an event that values participation over pace and purpose over performance.

This is more than a 5K. It’s a shared moment to reconnect with the city, the environment, and each other. No pressure. No pretense. Just forward motion in a space that represents resilience, culture, and community.

What to expect:
• A clearly marked 5K course through Humboldt Park
• An inclusive, upbeat atmosphere for all ages and abilities
• A weekend centered on environmental action
• A reminder that local efforts can create lasting impact

Come show up for the planet.
Come move your body.
Come be part of an Earth Day weekend that ends with momentum.

Register today and help turn intention into action.
